Brother Ray getting the mood for a cruise.

Nephew JD, Brother John, Brother Ray.

We are doing the mandatory emergency drill before we depart Fort Lauderdale.

This is a cemetery in Key West.  The arrow shows an epitaph that says: "I told you I was sick!"

By contrast, here is a zen garden for meditation near the cemetery.

This is sister and I in front of Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West.

After leaving Key West, we arrive the next day in Cozumel.

The Cozumel Dock.  Mom and I are in about the only hot spot we will see on this cruise.

Cozumel is an island.  In order to see the ruins at Tolum, we had to take a one hour boat ride to the mainland.  This is the dock at Playa Del Carmen about 40 miles south of Cancun.
